<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi David,<br>
The other possible solution is I can perform a linear translation
of the y-coordinates of all the files t=1 to N. And then use the
absolute location function. Do you know how can perform that
linear translation in y-coordinates seamlessly? <br>
<br>
thanks<br>

<div>Hi David,<br>
Thanks for the reply. Selecting a nodal points does not
really help. Please refer to the attached image. The
body is evolving with time and assume the rectangle
represents the mesh and the dot is the point I would
like to follow i.e., the evolution of the field variable
at dot position with respect to time. Selecting the
node does not help because the mesh is deforming and the
nodal coordinate distance is increasing. I need some
tool that keeps a constant distance from the top of the
body. <br>
<br>
Thanks

I have a transient simulation results written
to individual files. I would like to see the
evolution of T(temperature) with respect to t
(time) at a point attached to the body. The
body moves with respect to time. I tried Plot
over line, plot over selection etc gives the
plot at a fixed coordinates but my points have
moved from the initial file. I am looking for
something like evolution of T on the material
coordinates.<br>
At step 0 : My point is at (x, y)<br>
At step 1: My point is at (x,y+deltay1)<br>
At step 3 My point is at (x,y+deltay2)<br>
<br>
Please provide me some guidance.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
